Mindscope Neo Tracks 258 Flexible Assembly Track set + 2 Additional Cars (3 Total Cars)

First of all, I'm giving this product 5 stars, but I'll admit upon first arrival, I might have rated it 3 or 4. Here were my initial impressions: - As other reviews point out, there are really no directions. This frustrated my wife, but I kind of think that was intentional. They have some suggested configurations on the back of the box, but the track is so flexible you really can do anything you want with it. - The bigger (orange and yellow) bridge is made out of 8 or so parts. It kept falling apart right after it was put together - The cars all run off of a single AA battery- initially I was concerned we'd burn through these in a hurry However, it's been 3 weeks now, and this is my 2.5 year old's favorite toys, some notes: - The cars are awesome. I was worried they'd be cheap, but they all go a good speed for the track and are similar in speed - Battery life is much better than expected. 1 AA battery gives hours of on time - The self disassembling bridge- yeah, I had enough of that. I realized there is no need for this to have to come back apart, and broke out some super glue. Problem solved. I totally get some of the negative reviews. We bought this last minute (before Xmas), and had I reviewed this then my review would have not have been as favorable, but now over 2 weeks later we absolutely love it.

We found this set to be just as described, easy to assemble, and very entertaining. Our two year old grandson and our six year old great nephew equally enjoy the colorful and adaptable track set with the battery operated cars. The two year old is happy to play with one car and place obstacles in its path, while the six year old is intrigued with the many different ways the track can be configured. We did find that the bridge needed to be wired to the bridge supports,,,pipe cleaners worked very well. This 62 year old grandma set it up initially in.less than 30 minutes. So glad I ordered the set with additional cars. i think this will be a favored toy for several years.It also stores conveniently until their next visit.

First off, my 4 year old boy and 2 year old girl LOVE this toy. The flexible concept and multiple options are great for their ever-moving bodies and it really is a perfect toy for the two of them to play with together. We already owned the glo-trax set from QVC and wanted to add on to it. We chose this track for 4 main reasons: 1. This set includes a lot of track pieces which allows for many more configuration options. (The kids have it routed under the couches, through the chair legs, etc. 2. It fits perfectly with the track from QVC that we already owned. NOTE: this track does not glow in the dark and the cars do not have lights, but neither of those facts really mattered to the kids. 3. The bridges and tunnels in this set make it even more fun to play with and that's the best part for the kids. 4. This set comes with 3 cars and that was a bonus because one of our cars from the QVC already doesn't work. I didn't give this 5 stars because the main suspension bridge that came in our set is not like the one that is pictured. There are less pieces included to put it together, instead of 12 of those little pieces that must stack together ours has long posts and some different support pieces. Since there are no instructions, we couldn't figure out exactly how it was all meant to fit together. Several adults at Christmas took their turn and no one figured it out. Today I actually just sat down to look at it for the first time since then and it actually went together. The bridge goes together well, but the blue support ramps don't stay perfectly in place so I am having to come back and help the kids put it back together every so often. Overall I am really pleased with the construction of the track pieces. They feel a little more solid than the QVC track pieces we already have and the bright colors look really nice. This really is a great toy and concept and again, my kids truly love to play with this, as well as any friends who come over.

These have kept my kids entertained since Christmas. They are enjoying the different ways they can bend and form the tracks. Their favorite way is to make a hamster wheel, with two cars it will move. The battery operated cars a single AA battery works well and for a longer time then the Name brand which has a car with 3AAA batteries. The three cars in this package move quickly so keep an eye on them. I prefer this brand to the name brand it seems more deribal than the name brand. Also the name brand boasts glowing in the dark, which doesn't work. One of the colors on the name brand track is also starting to show wear and is pulling out (not good since this track came out of the box 2 days ago.) if your debating on the two brands I would choose this one.

I bought this for my 3 year old in June. He loves it BUT it falls apart. The yellow/orange bridge (and ramps to get up and down from bridge) keep falling down. It gets set up on our train table so it's on a flat sturdy surface but the movement from the cars make it fall down. Anyone else have this problem? I just eliminate that bridge when setting up and use the smaller bridge only which works. Just stinks the taller bridge is useless.

I bought the train and the cars from Amazon for my nephews. Before I begin there's a gripe against the company originally ordered from ...QVC... Sometimes when you see something so interesting like NEO TRACKS your first instinct is to buy it because you know it will be gone by Christmas.Supporting your home is another reason one buys from QVC. Understand Amazon is my favorite buy site and I should have known better. I purchased Neo Tracks from QVC that day it amazed me. I received a conformation number and was told it will ship Sept 3 2013. About a week ago I received a email from QVC they are cancelling my order do to stock. I live 2hrs away from Philly. One of the biggest Flyers fans(hockey Player) on the face of the planet. This QVC company cancelled my order. How do you dis-honor one of your own. I understand QVC is an international company but so is Amazon. Pissed by the cancellation home was my only choice, AMAZON. Amazon had the cars and a train which my nephew is a nut over. PROS: 1. The tracks assemble easy 2. The vehicles follow the path. People commented the train derails sometimes. That's because the builder(they are your kids) does not understand a train needs more straight room to roam. 3. The flexibility you can do with it. You can climb over blocks making like a roller coaster and its easy to put together. If your child has a problem your the adult show him or her how. If the adult can't figure it out try harder.If the adult still can't figure it out read a book. They are your children. 4. You turn out the lights at night and run MindScopes Neo Tracks and its like the Kate Perry song Fireworks. It's like a sparkler. (I'm a heavy metal guy by the way, I did not say that). 5. It educates children on how to build a thing and enjoy what they created. Cons. The train does move fast but you extend the track and make wider circles it does not derail. You heard me and my gripe which brings me to this. Why has Amazon avoided promoting new items on a TV site. Amazons own show. My name is nobody. R U.

We got these for my son's friend's birthday. He loved them. My 7yo son asked for them a year later for Christmas, and he loves them. The tracks are easy to put together and take apart, and the flexibly is awesome. Only problem: Seems like the cars will run out of batteries pretty quick. They're getting tired on day one. But they do come with extra tires, which is cool. Overall a great toy.

Grandkids ages 8, 7, 4, and 3 love these tracks. Each family has two sets from QVC (named something else) and they wanted more track and cars for Christmas but QVC was out of stock so I bought these hoping they would fit. The colors are brighter, cars are different and they work well with their other sets. My husband put the bridge together and it's really sturdy (until the 10 month old got involved....lol). Worth the money!!!!!!
